I am Sophie, a Swedish woman by birth but English by adoption. I have a little mud hotel in the beautiful and ancient West African town of Djenne, Mali. WWW.HOTELDJENNEDJENNO.COM Because of unstable political
situation, tourism has ground to a halt. Hotel still open! But hotel staff mainly working in Bogolan studio now: www.malimali.org check out our fab online shop!

Still in Sweden- the sun is shining again. Thinking of Djenne and looking through the picture archives. I have been wanting to put this picture in for a long time, but have found no reason. So here it is, apropos rien: Monsieur Toure was the first person to have a motorcycle (vespa?)in Djenne in 1967. He is still riding the same bike!
